We have to meet in Atlanta for sure as I will be at that show as well...3rd row.
my brother caught them in Salt Lake a week ago --- we were both weaned on Rush
I will be there for the Radio City shows and Jones Beach and Holmdel...see you there!
Rush and Yes push their musicians to do their best work, and they both have made music that is eternal in nature. That is very rare ...
Geddy became very defensive a few months back when people were questioning Canada's part in the war on terror when Americans were giving them crap over it. He made it well known that they had lost soldiers in Afghanistan and that they were behind the war on terror and that their government is a mess.
But I recall him saying he is a Liberatarian.
I can only think of one, and it wasn't that bad (the title escapes me at the moment). Great band, great guys, and for those of you who haven't kept up with them lately, "Vapor Trails" is an excellent recent album, and their live DVD "Rush in Rio" is great as well. Anybody know what came of Alex Lifeson's legal troubles in Florida?
I saw them in 2002 at Jones Beach and it was great. I've heard Radio City shows were good and decided to try there instead.
I hope they play The Pass again. Very deep.
How many shows are you going to on this tour?
I am in sec204 right behind the mix position, but we can hook up before the show. Let's freepmail the details ...

I saw the former twice and the latter at least 5 times in my youth.

I'm also a fan of both...just saw Rush in San Antonio and saw Yes at the Backyard (outdoor ampitheatre) in Austin in 1998, 2nd row, center stage. I've been a bassist since 15 years of age, and my 2 idols in rock bands were Geddy Lee and Chris Squire. I was only 6-7 feet away from Mr. Squire during that performance and they were still awe inspiring!!!
15...taking my entire vacation this summer...perfect timing you could say.
I wonder if Geddy has heard of the organization "Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership"? I bet they could use a spokesman of his stature!
'Going for the One' is great...I always liked "Turn of the Century".
Never could get into 'Relayer'...I just couldn't see Pat Moraz doing the group the same justice that Wakeman did for so many years.
What have they been up to lately? Didn't they tour not too long ago?
"But I recall him saying he is a Liberatarian."
Free Will, eh?
;-)
My husband and me just recently saw RUSH in St. Louis less than a month ago. I have a great deal of respect for the people in the band and that's not easy for me to say anymore about any musician.
Well...when it rains, it pours!
Now, I'm also curious to see what age groups are/were positively affected by Yes and Rush.
I'm 27.
Count me in, too. I even liked that weird Anderson-Buford-Wakeman-Howe thing!
I am a 35-year old kid.
37.
Just turned 30
